Pattern Magic 2; the vanishing scarf

Description

Shirt drafted from the Japanese pattern book Pattern Magic 2 by Tomoko Nakamichi, made of synthetic stuff that I dyed using iDye for synthetics in Brown. The fabric used to be pale pistachio green.

Material Notes

synthetic stuff, that used to be pistachio green, dyed using iDye for synthetics in Brown. An invisible zip for central back closure, and two plastic tortoiseshell buttons for the sleeve tabs

I am looking for a jacket for my diploma exam for a while. finally I came over your creation and bought the book, because, I think this is what I want. in some way conventional, but also with stylish modern details. I wonder, if it is possible, to keep the two front parts apart and make buttons, instead of the zip in the back. I think it could be difficult to change the jacket quickly with the back zip

Thank you for your comment! Yes, I think it is perfectly possible to have the two fronts separate, and have a hidden button band for closure, in fact if I was making this again this is exactly how I would do it next time.
Good luck with your diploma exam!
